Currently reading the Seven anthology by Delcourt and I'm loving it. Especially the sixth issue about Yakuza with its stunning art that blends Franco-Belgian and Manga style. Awesome stuff.

Re: Favorite Webcomic/Comic Series/Graphic novel

Just got through reading "Hellboy: House of the Living Dead". It is a direct sequel to the Hellboy story "Hellboy in Mexico". It is written by Mike Mignola and drawn by Richard Corben. Like the last story, it is an ode to Mexican horror films of the 50s and 60s like "The Robot vs The Aztec Mummy" and "Santos vs The Vampire Women". It even has a scene where Hellboy fights a Frankenstein's Monster-like creature in a wrestling ring!

I also read "Double Feature of Evil" with our hero investigating a haunted house and the second story has a man using ancient Egyptian magic to bring mummies to life. It ends with the villain being eaten by Sobek!

I don't actually play favorites. I like things as a whole. I sometimes like specific types of strips, like how I love every time Evil Inc. uses a pun as the punchline. but it's to hard to choose one favorite for me.

Recently I just got into this really wacky series call "Chu 'n' Tost." The only thing I will say about the comic is that the main characters are a train and slice of bread.

not just a slice of bread, but a toasted one. And it's a fun series. ^_^

Re: Favorite Webcomic/Comic Series/Graphic novel

Just got the second volume of "FUBAR" in the mail. For those interested, it is an anthology book of stories during World War II, but with a zombie plague breaking out and the millions of dead littering the earth rising up to attack Axis and Allies alike. The first volume was set in the European theater of the war, so this second volume is set in the Pacific theater.

I don't have it in front of me, but it is an anthology book so it has several different writers and artists. Its really good, you should check it out!

If you like a mix of the zombie/horror genre and war stories, also check out "'68" and "Graveyard of Empires".

There are some movies that mix these two genres too!

Are those stories horror stories or just comedy stories with zombies?I liek horror

To add to what I said before, I just ordered " '68: Better Run Through the Jungle".

A little bit of background, " '68" was originally meant to be a spin-off of George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead", but was made its own entity. It is set during the Vietnam war, in particular the aftermath of the Tet Offensive, in 1968 which is the year "Night of the Living Dead" was released. It bounces back between a young Army private and his tracking dog in the jungles of Vietnam, and in California with a group of student activist who all come under attack from reanimated corpses.

Re: Favorite Webcomic/Comic Series/Graphic novel

sadly both 68 and the empire one are paid comics not available in Brazil. I'm not going to order them for the same reason why I don't buy the housepets books...the traslation of the dollar price to real +the ship to get here would be a stab to my pocket.

And, I found another comic that combines World War II and the zombie genre. Its called "Iron Siege". Its sort of what you would get is you combined "Assault on Precinct 13" and "28 Days Later". Set in an isolated French village in 1944, a mysterious disease is mutating people and animals into flesh-eating monsters. A group of American soldiers, German soldiers and French partisans have to ban together in an old castle to fight off the monsters. Its very well written. As much tension comes from each group not trusting each other as comes from the creatures trying to kill them.

I'm still a reader of Bittersweet Candy Bowl, xkcd, and Slightly Damned. Although, all this filler for SD lately has been getting on my nerves. I might drop it for a while and return to it in a couple months. From what I have seen, most artists are preoccupied during the summer and either get slack with updates or slack with the storyline. *shrugs* They have their own lives too, and the comics are free anyways, so it doesn't bother me.

Angelusbr, I would totally follow that comic you just made. It's that awesome.

I'm pretty sure I'll regret it later. I'll start uploading this webcomic when I get inspiration to it. I decided to make it a comedy inclined plotline since nobody would ever take it serious (not even I).http://seraph-sama.deviantart.com/art/A ... -316175664This is my deviantart account.

I just bought a boat load of Manga from Amazon. Its one of my favorites, "Gunsmith Cats". Its a crime drama set in Chicago. I got them really cheap ( one of the was only a penny!) because they are older editions that are in the Western right-to-left style. I know the purists don't like it when Western publishers do that, but I prefer them printed this way.

_________________"I have known hardship and learned to aid the wretched."-Virgil

Its hosted through the creator's tumblr and furaffinity accounts. Its about a young dragon couple who's night out on the town is ruined by a George A. Romero style zombie apocalypse!

Looks promising. Definitely going to watch them on FA and see where it goes. Good find dude.

Re: Favorite Webcomic/Comic Series/Graphic novel

it's really hard to pick just one. so probably either Concession, this, or Prequel
